Queen Bee

Queen Bee

Who doesn't love a good play on words? And if you have kids, you can dress 'em up as adorable baby bees to go trick or treating.

Bob Ross and a Happy Little Tree

While this couple costume may look complicated, it's surprisingly simple and is super cheap to make — and very on trend since The Joy of Painting is now on Netflix. Bonus: If you have a little critter of your own, you can dress him or her up as Bob's squirrel Peapod.

Sia

Here's a cheap thrill: The only thing you need to buy for this Sia costume is her signature two-toned wig. You can get it on Amazon for less than $10, then wear whatever black and white ensemble you have at home. Bonus points if you get a friend to dress up as Maddie Ziegler.

Spaghetti and Parmesan

Celebrate your love of pasta with this anything-but-cheesy costume. Get a green jersey dress and glue on the parmesan label, then use pom-poms and yarn for your spaghetti sweater. Top with a colander and pasta "hair" — we recommend angel hair.

Elaine Benes from Seinfeld

Grab your favorite floral dress (ideally a tiny print), a blazer and your most awkward dance moves, and this '90s icon is instantly recognizable. Don't have the outfit or the curly brown hair? Believe it or not, there are now readymade Elaine costumes ($31; walmart.com).

Dancing Girl Emojis

Dressing up as emojis has become a big costume trend for Halloween, and the simplest way to do it is to use clothing you already own. A black shirt and black shorts make up the clothing portion of this dancing girl emoji pair, while black card stock attached to headbands serves as bunny ears.

Pink Shirt Girl Emoji

If you're not up for even that level of effort, just find a pink shirt. Then strike a few familiar emoji girl poses every time someone asks what you are. Bonus points if you bring a pair of scissors to recreate this favorite.
